I'm being told that Dottore Magistrale in Filosofia is the
equivalent to a master's degree,
and not to a Ph.D.

Are there any Italian-speaking persons familiar with Italian research
 education here
that could comment on this?

Yup, a Master. In philosphy, it required an experimental thesis, that is
an original work, but not of the quality required for a PhD. In Italy, one
is called Dottore with that degree. Indeed, it used to be the highest
degree until 1986, if I remember correctly the year.
